Fix-a-Ford

That darn air bag light was driving me crazy. I tried googling it again. This time I found out there are tons of people with the same issue and this guy happened to have a document with the air bag codes. Air bag code 47: Passenger seatbelt sensor. Disconnected it and reconnected and the light is gone.

Next stop: hatch door.

PHP mail() Function

Jeanne — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 20:16:36 +0000

The PHP mail() function is handy. You can use it to have people contact you through a form on your Web page if you don’t feel comfortable displaying your email address. The sample code below will send an email to “contact@mydomain.com” with the subject and message as the respective text inputs below.

// check to see if send button has been clicked

```
if (isset($_REQUEST["submit"])) {
```
```
 
```
```
	$to = "contact@mydomain.com";
```
```
	$from = $_REQUEST["email"];
```
```
	$subject = $_REQUEST["subject"];
```
```
	$message = $_REQUEST["message"];
```
```
 
```
```
	// validate email address
```

	if (!filter_var($from, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {

```
		$err_from = true;
```
```
	}
```
```
 
```
```
	if ($err_from) {
```
```
		// error message goes here
```
```
	} else {
```
```
		// try to send it
```

		if (mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $from")) {

```
			// message has been sent
```
```
		} else {
```
```
			// there's been an error
```
```
		}
```
```
	}
```
```
}
```
```
?>
```
```
 echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']; ?>">
```
```
	From:
 echo $from; ?>" />
```
```
	Subject:
 echo $subject; ?>" />
```

	Message:
<span class="kw2"><?php</span> <span class="kw1">echo</span> <span class="re0">$message</span><span class="sy0">;</span> <span class="sy1">?></span>

```
	
```

See it live.

Stephanie Miller is out! My chances have increased.

Jeanne — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:28:23 +0000

Rated one of the most influential female radio hosts has just come out of the closet. I kind of figured that…it makes sense. But I know all her listeners are really proud of her. She shouldn’t have any problems getting a date because she’s freaking hot! Congratulate her for letting herself be happy: stephanie@stephaniemiller.com.

From Here to There

After a lot of thought, I moved out of Doteasy.com. It was a great starter home, but the rent got higher as I wanted more options. So, I moved into GoDaddy.com. The economy package is a great deal. Check it out:

If you end up getting anything through GoDaddy, you should send some love my way:

WordPress Cross Posting

Jeanne — Fri, 21 May 2010 04:19:48 +0000

After a good year, I’m back on the Web. I had deleted my myspace and facebook accounts because they take so much time to manicure. I was excited to see that there are plugins to update each of these social sites from WordPress. Two birds, one stone. I created new accounts and even threw a little Twitter action in the mix. So, this post is a test to see if these plugins work.

Save some time with $_SERVER variables

Jeanne — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 06:09:01 +0000

I spend a lot of time testing out certain things with $_SERVER array. I often forget what I should be getting as a value for a specific variable. Sometimes what variable it is that I am wanting to work with. Here’s a quick loop that can generate the $_SERVER array all nice and neat like:

foreach ($_SERVER as $variable =&gt; $value) {

	echo $variable . " = " . $value . "<br />";

```
}
```

To jazz it up, you can add unordered list elements or tables to it. What’s not to love?

PC Gamers of Spanaway

There’s nothing like a local computer business. PC Gamers in Spanaway is where I got my first computer and it’s good to see that after all these years they’re still around.
